What clutch were you using? I'm on the 1400hp McLeod and crossing my fingers it will hold

I noticed your stock primary cam gears in the build pics... I'm guessing your cams weren't degreed?
Same clutch
The cams have been degreed.
Lobe separation has been set with aftermarket secondary sprockets, but if my engine was any example of what L & M does, the primary sprockets aren't modified to adjust TDC. Otherwise they'd have to file the keyway on each of the primary sprockets to make any adjustments. My sprockets weren't modified in any manner to do this when it came apart.
Well that sucks. Guess I'll know next week if it can hold it or not.
FINAL UPDATE:
After several weeks of gremlins the car is fit for duty.
-SCT X4 would not communicate; SCT said it was a firmware failure and needed to be sent it. Had to buy a new X4 while waiting (should have just waited on an Ngauge). Had to get the new SCT working properly with computer since stock tuned stored on a bricked X4.
- The bellhousing RPM Transmission sent with the new TR6060 was found to be for a T56 and clocked at 7:00. I still have not received a new bellhousing but ordered the shop to cut the flange and reclock the bellhousing.
- Went on the dyno for the final tune and fuel pressure kept falling off at 5800 rpm. Checked all the vacuum lines and found nothing wrong. Pulled the fuel hat and found that one of the pumps looked burnt up and the wire to that pump had damaged. Replaced that pump but still kept losing fuel pressure. Shop borrowed another assembly out of another car and held pressure fine. Awaiting Fore to respond on warranty as the assembly is only a few months old.
- Whipple Throttle Body - 168MM would not idle properly; had to order bigger 17x big bore throttle body and worked flawlessly.
So after all the waiting and Kinetic putting the car together over the last week, I will be able to make it to the Texas Mile on Thursday.
Thanks to Kinetik Motorsports, L&M Engines, Lethal Performance, Whipple, and Lund Racing (Jon Lund Jr in particular).
The car made 1141 rwhp and 1061 ft/lbs at 26 psi. I am awaiting the smaller pulley for Whipple to add a few more psi. The tune is safe and that's what I wanted since I still drive it on the street on occasion.

Dyno sheet is of the second pull. The first sheet doesn't show the data in the upper corner for some reason.
Trying to get the hang of video editing...only my second time attempting to mess with any editors.

Wow car looks/sounds awesome. Can you divulge on cam specs? Noticed peak was at 6340 which is nice when trying to keep the crankshaft alive with big blowers. So 3.125 10℅ and 26lbs made 1141?

Any updates on this?
I am swapping the setup on the car right now...I have been having issues with the 2012 ECM. Might end up going standalone while the car is down before the next Texas Mile in October. I hope to have another update with new adder in the next couple of months 
Car did run great after Lund worked out some hiccups with the throttle body tuning.
